Reasoning

The claim is partially correct but requires significant caveats. The sample sizes are approximately correct (McKinsey ~1,993 not 1,933; BCG 10,600 confirmed; Deloitte 3,235 confirmed). However, the assertion that no survey identified capability-based stratification is an overstatement. McKinsey identifies 'AI high performers' (6% of respondents). BCG finds a three-tier capability model. These surveys do identify capability differences but frame them as organizational maturity, not individual skill stratification.
